A group of Militants known as Niger Delta Avengers, which claimed responsibility for blowing up the Forcados Terminal Pipeline in Delta State, on February 14 has once again threaten more attacks on oil pipelines and other facilities.According to a notice issued by the group, it said more attacks oil installations in the region should be expected until the Federal Government addresses its grievances.
The group said: “Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, Forcados terminal is our latest casualty. There are many more to follow in the days and weeks ahead.”
It said it was prepared to reduce Nigeria’s daily oil production and supply to zero barrel if its agitation was ignored.
“The same factor that brought about the Niger Delta arms struggle is fast resurfacing as the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is poised to exterminate Niger Delta people for being benevolent enough to allow the nation’s mono-economy thrive on our oil.
“We are being oppressed, pushed to the wall on various fronts, which is why we have picked up the challenge to be the outlaws this government will have to contend with till daily production of oil is reduced to zero in the Niger Delta, so government can use the oil from the North to run Nigeria’s mono-economy.
On what its grievances are, the group said: “We believe that Nigeria can practice true federalism where our resources will be controlled by us and used for our own good. The reverse is the case today, where the goose that lays the golden egg is killed along with the egg,” they said.

A fresh case of fraud was leveled on the shoulders of Nigeria, this time by American singer and actor, Ginuwine.
Yesterday, the ‘Love You More’ singer warned his over 300,000 Instagram fans, saying he had just learnt that someone was using his photo to trick people into giving money on Facebook, and he described the criminal act as a ‘Nigerian scam’.
“I’m being told someone is using my name to trick people into giving money THIS IS NOT ME!!!!” He wrote, “It’s a Nigerian scam going on so if anyone on any page that has my name ask for money curse they ass out people will do anything for a dollar it’s crazy.”
On his page, offended Nigerians are dragging him for filth, but his fans claim that the singer never meant that the scam was being masterminded by a Nigerian, only that he described same as a scam Nigerians are famous for. Either way, the slap didn’t land softly, especially to compatriots eager to defend the nation’s honour.
